    I’m excited to see D’Angelo’s return to music. The airwaves have been over saturated with mediocre R&B & Hip Hop “artists” and unfortunately great artists like Musiq, Maxwell, Eric Roberson, Jill Scott, Conya Doss etc are being overlooked. Hopefully, his return will give the Neo Soul movement the spark it needs to place great music back into the forefront. I wish Mr. D’Angelo nothing but the best with his music and his recovery.
